People in the military have an easier time getting cars back and forth - 
something to look into - according to what I've been told.

      Does anybody knw if the same basic rules apply in Canada?  I ask 
because a
substantial number of people I know (former military) bought cars in Europe 
and
brought them home.  I wonder if there are various rules for different
cercumstances.  I'm sure a lot of those guys wouldn't have brought those 
cars
back (Citroens, old Mercedes, etc) it it was that tough.
      If nobody knows, I'll investigate.  Maybe if it's imported into Canada
then shipped to the US you can miss a lot of the tougher restrictions.

Cheers,
Colin
